I just stumbled across this discussion and have to say that I am using
CMake for over a year now with LiveMedia after assembling the necessary
CMake files. It works like a charm in contrast to the previous system.
This is mostly caused by the fact that I have to target both Linux and
Windows environments and for such a case in my opinion there is nothing
better suited than CMake. Besides it provides perfect means for creating
install versions of live media that I can easily package and distribute
as runtimes (yet still leaving out the mechanisms for RPM generation).
I really consider having a GUI for configuring my compile environment a
big plus, but this might be the case because I am originally a Windows
guy ( blame me for that if you like ;-)
My 2 cents.
Best Regards,
Michael

Are there any ideological objections against CMake?
No.
The only problem I have with using "CMake" (or something like it) is
that it would impose a small burden (i.e., having to download and
install a new utility) on most developers who use this software (those
who develop for Unix/Posix/Linux/MacOS systems), merely because
Microsoft apparently decided - a few years ago - to make it difficult
for Windows developers to use "Makefiles", despite the fact that
"Makefiles" have been the standard software configuration mechanism
for 30 years now.
But here's what I'll do: I'll poll this mailing list to get a feel
what people prefer, and I'll use the results of the poll (in about a
week) to help make a decision.
So, if you're a developer who uses the "LIVE555 Streaming Media"
software, please send email to
supp...@live555.com
(*not* to this mailing list), with the following Subject: line
CMake poll: <N>
Where <N> is one of the following:
-1 I'm happy with the existing "genMakefiles" mechanism, and
don't want to change.
0 I develop only for Unix/Posix/Linux/MacOS systems, but would
not mind switching to using "CMake" instead of the "genMakefiles" script.
1 I develop for Windows (or something else other than
Unix/Posix/Linux/MacOS), and would prefer to start using "CMake".
2 I would prefer to switch to using something else, but not
"CMake". (If so, please say - in the body of your email - what you
would prefer to use.)
The body of your email can be empty (unless you choose option 2).
Note: I will count responses only if
- The response is sent to "supp...@live555.com", *not* to this
mailing list, and
- The email's "From:" address is that of a subscriber to the
mailing list, and
- This email address is a professional email address (i.e., not
"@hotmail", "@aol", "@gmail", "@yahoo", etc.)
Any other responses *will* be ignored.
